In order to manage the files from your iPod, you need to use iTunes. Luckily, this can be avoided, as you can use the Winamp Media Library to do so, thanks to a handy plugin such as iPod Plug-in for Winamp.

The program allows you to manage the files and playlists of your iPod using the Winamp Media Library and not iTunes. In order to properly work, the application requires Winamp installed and running on your computer, as well as iTunes, but only when managing the content of iTouch and iPhone devices.

Intuitive iPod library manager

The application provides you with a convenient way of organizing and managing your iPod music library from within Winamp’s Media Library, without using iTunes. This way, you do not have to download and install it. Since Winamp is widely used for media playing, you can use the program to manage your iPod’s media content using Winamp anytime and anywhere.

Additionally, you can easily play media files existent on your iPod the same way you play them with Winamp.

Highly useful Winamp plugin for iPods

iPod Plug-in for Winamp can help you add or organize music files on your iPod through the interface of Winamp’s Media Library. Although newer versions of Winamp offer support for iPod playlists, the application comes with additional features that can help you further improve your experience when managing files.

Aside from this, the program does not interfere with the ratings and playcounts that you set while using iTunes to manage your iPod’s content, making it safe to easily switch from the Winamp plugin and iTunes.

A lightweight, yet seamlessly powerful iPod manager for Winamp

To conclude, iPod Plug-in for Winamp allows you to organize and manage the music content or playlists of your iPod through Winamp’s Media Library, and not iTunes.

new: iPhone/iTouch support disabled by default, because newer devices and iTunes versions caused Winamp to crash. iOS 4 or 3 wasn't supported anyway, due to Apple's implemented protection to keep us out of the game. It can be re-enabled for older devices in the preferences, on the "Advanced" tab. You must restart Winamp after this change.

fixed: bug that caused the scrolling title in newer Winamps to stop working (DrO)

fixed: Don't show donation request on first launch (user should have some time to test with her device, first)

The support file "process.exe" is no longer bundled in the installer, as several virus scanners report this file as a potential threat. It is not, but it caused users to worry. We will provide a separate zip for this.
